Correct Answer: 6
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is: 6
\(l=∫_3^b \frac{1}{(x^2-1)(x^2-4)}dx=\frac{1}{3}(\frac{1}{x^2-4}-\frac{1}{x^2-1})dx\)
\(=ln((\frac{b-2}{b+2})\frac{(b+1)^2}{b-1}^2)-(In\,\frac{4}{5})\)
After simplification ,
\(\frac{49}{40}=\frac{(b-2)}{(b+2)}\frac{(b+1)^2}{(b-1)^2}.\frac{5}{4}\)
⇒ b = 6
